Abstract:
Perovskite material have brought revolution in the field of photovoltaics. Perovskite based solar cells have high efficiencies, low cost and good optical properties. With these properties perovskite have also some challenges like of large area fabrication, toxicity, long term stability and humidity. The toxicity of the device is because of lead. To solve the issue to toxicity, in the present study lead is replaced by germanium. Germanium also belong to the group of lead with band gap close to the lead. Cesium Germanium Tri-Iodide (CsGeI3) based perovskite solar cell is simulated with electron transport layer (ETL) based on C60 and hole transport layer (HTL) based on CuI using SCAPS-1D simulation software. The effect of thickness and on the parameters of the solar cell are study in depth. The maximum efficiency of 15.02% is achieved with the fill factor of 85.88%. Moreover, the Voc of 0.883V and the Jsc of 19.79 mACm-3 is obtained for the designed solar cell.
